DISGRACED financier Low Taek Jho may be on the run but his 100m superyacht, is enjoying a new life in the Mediterranean as an exclusive party venue, according to British tabloid The Daily Mail.

The Tranquility, formerly the Equanimity – with rooms for 22 guests, a spa, beauty salon, cinema and gym – is available to rent for £1 million (RM5.27 million).

“She was officially put up for rent this morning,” Katia Damborsky, of Yacht Charter Fleet told MailOnline.

“There have been no takers yet, but it’s expected she will be popular among large groups because of her unique capacity to host 22 people on board.

“She is on her way to the Med now and we will expect to see a lot of her in Italy and the south of France.”

It was reported that the Tranquility was expected to put into port on the Amalfi Coast, Cannes, St Tropez, the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, as well as other locations along the French and Italian Riverias.

The yacht’s leisure and entertainment facilities made her the ideal charter for socialising and entertaining with family and friends, Damborsky told the daily.

Former owner Low, also known as Jho Low, is still wanted by the authorities in connection with the 1MDB scandal and is the subject of an international arrest warrant. He is believed to be in China.

Low had originally paid in excess of RM1 billion for Equanimity, on which he hosted some of his famously lavish parties.

The Malaysian government seized the vessel last year and sold it for less than half price to the Genting Group earlier this month. – June 22, 2019.

    TRANQUILITY will no doubt enjoy a cleaner reputation..."
